What reading level is Charlemagne book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The brother kings raised troops and met on the border of Poitou.
But then the disagreement between them came to an open rupture, and Carloman withdrew with his forces, leaving Charles to carry on the war alone. At the first encounter Charles won a victory.
Hunald fled for refuge to his nephew Lupus, the Duke of Gascony. The Aquitanians submitted.
Lupus was summoned to surrender the fugitive ; and, having probably assured himself beforehand of a favourable reception, he went in person, accom- pa...nied by Hunald, to the camp of Charles, acknow- ledged allegiance to the Frank king, and surrendered the refugee, who was allowed to retire to Rome and re-enter the cloister there. Charles built the strong- fortress of Fronsac on the banks of the Dordogne, and left a strong garrison to secure the province.
220 CHARLEMAGNE.
We have next to turn to the side of Italy. The queen-mother, Bertrada, used her influence to nego- tiate an alliance between the Teutonic neighbours, the Frank and the Lombard kingdoms, which she proposed to cement by a double alliance ; she offered her daughter Gisela to Adelgis, the son of Didier, and heir to the Lombard throne, and sought Desi- derata, the daughter of Didier, for one of the Frank kings.
